S&W Model 67

[goldwinghg]

Ran across a model 67 4", with factory box. Grip aren't original. Trying to get a fair price to offer. I would rate it above 90% since it doesn't have factory grips. It has been polished,looks pretty nice. Any help with a estimate would be appreciated!

You will get prices from wholesale to way above book values. No factory grips and polishing reduce the value but the factory box is good. My estimate is going to be $400 - $500.

With a box and 90% condition my estimate would be $475 to $525. Condition is everything but, the Mod. 67 "no dash" is special.

I acquired this one from the 70+ year old son of the Nashville, TN gunshop owner who polished it, during the 60's, about 12 years ago. The stainless steel sights, while eye catching, are almost useless in bright sun light!

+1 on $400-500 estimate. I have a 1972 no dash 67 and love it.

I agree, it's not original with replacement stocks and polished finish, $400-$500 is reasonable.

I bought this one four years ago from someone on the Internet for $300 with no stocks. It was polished and looked like a 1960s car bumper so I had my gunsmith restore the brushed finish, put a set of my checkered target stocks on it and obtained a set of the correct Magna stocks just to have them for originality purposes. With the gunsmith's charge to redo the finish and go over the gun completely, I have $415 in it and it's not for sale. I wouldn't expect to buy another no-dash for that again. It's amazing how people can devalue older guns like that by ruining the factory finish.

I don't understand this urge some have to polish stainless till it looks like chrome. I much prefer the subdued factory finish. And some will talk about it as if it's an upgrade.

My 67 lived a very hard life - believe it was a police / corrections gun somewhere then a second life doing hard service with an armored car company before it ended up with me. Had to replace the rear sight blade and did so with a black one. It has a red ramp so the sights are workable. It had some pencil engraved numbers that were able to be buffed out before a bead blast. One issue number still remains. A nice set of cocobola Hogue grips from their old auction site tops it off.
Might not win any beauty contents but boy is it a shooter.

Looks like it had Hogue rubber grips were put on and not removed for a long time. Brinks Armored had 67s at some of their locations.

Pictures are helpful. It could be from a LEO or Armed Guard or a gently used revolver from somebody's nightstand.

$400

Maybe my memory is cloudy, but weren't these bringing more before my 'sabbatical'?

I would if I were looking to make a BBQ gun or just wanted some bling. I agree, a satin finish is easier to maintain than highly polished or even a media blasted finish.

I never understood the polishing of stainless guns. They are harder to shoot accurately in bright sunlight, and for hunting guns, the bright flashy finish scares off game.
Plus, they look like pimp guns.

The factory finish will show rub marks if used. Those marks will detract from the value about as much as a full polish will. My 67-1 got polished because every time I cleaned the gun I used a small dab of 3M Finessit to give it a final wipe down. Had I not done that it would have shown all those years of wear and I find a gentle polish can be quite attractive. BTW, also have a 625JM with a full polish because that particular finish would show a rub mark if I brushed a fingernail lightly across the finish. Two weeks of laying the gun on a shooting bench every time the range was called cold resulted in a cylinder that looked terrible.
